[Hidden-tech] Google Voice

[Lynn Goodhue]

Hi Duane,
 
I have been waiting for about a week so far for my Google invitation to
arrive.  A few days after requesting an invitation from Google, I asked
Maria Korolov (who had suggested Google Voice as one solution to the
no-cell-reception-at-home problem) to invite me, thinking it was something
that someone with the service could do.  It may have been at one time, but
Maria said she couldn't find anywhere to send an invitation any more.  She
also said it was about a week before she received her initial Google Voice
invitation.
 
So, I'm still waiting....

You can put yourself on their list to get an invitation from Google "in the
near future" at
https://services.google.com/fb/forms/googlevoiceinvite/

The folks at Google seem to be having a good time rethinking "telephone" --
going beyond what Grand Central had done with it before Google acquired it.
Options include:
* Ring through to multiple phones simultaneously (home, office, cell)
* Take voice mail message, transcribe it, and email it to you (with option
to listen too)
* Place a "Call Me" widget on your web site that could ring to specific
one(s) of your numbers, or straight to voice mail, and with a special
voicemail message, and keeping your actual number private if you like.
* Place calls from your gmial contact list, connecting using whichever of
your phones you choose. (Free within US and a bargain for international.)

End of promo.
Duane
